BERKELEY, Calif. - Californer -- California Olive Oil Council (COOC) kicks off the 2019 olive oil harvest season with the launch of its "Why California?" campaign. "Why California?" celebrates the fact that California has over 400 growers, producing from more than 75 olive varieties, accounting for over 99 percent of US domestic olive oil production. The California Olive Oil Council's stringent Seal Certification Program requires that all producer members meet the high standards for extra virgin olive oil grade.

You can trust the COOC Seal.

COOC's harvest season kicked off with a number of public tasting events in November and early December.  With an estimated production of 4 million gallons of olive oil, EVOO fans were able to immerse themselves in hands-on, informative experiences.
